Bis[(1,1′-biphenyl-2,2′-di­yl)di-tert-butyl­phospho­nium] di-μ-chlorido-bis­[dichlorido­palladate(II)]

In the title compound, (C₂₀H₂₆P)₂[Pd₂Cl₆], the Pd^II atom within the hexachloridodipalladate(II) dianion has a square-planar geometry. It resides on a centre of inversion with the asymmetric unit containing half of the dianion and one phospho­nium cation. Only weak C—H...π inter­actions are present in the crystal structure.

(Acetato-κ²O,O′)[2′-(di-tert-butyl­phosphanyl)-1,1′-biphenyl-κ²P,C²]palladium(II)

The structure of the title compound, [Pd(C₂H₃O₂)(C₂₀H₂₆P)], shows a distorted square-planar geometry for the Pd^II atom, with significant deviations being evident owing to the asymmetric coordination mode of the acetate ligand. A weak intra­molecular C—H...O inter­action is noted. The crystal studied was a racemic twin.
